POTM voting on 28.04.08 14:33
Could it be possible to start Player of the Match voting system here at gamestv.org, since there are very few matchreports on Clanbase nowadays (those reports have voting system at the bottom). And I don't mean every match should have that, but those high-profile matches like EC, NC and so on.
Also to reduce the amount of votes given by people who didn't watch the game, there could be a limited time to vote. For example, the voting could start at the same time as the game and end 2 hours after that, or it could start when someone has updated the score and last for like 30 minutes.
I personally think this could be a cool update, if it is possible to do.
And last but not least, I'd like to thank the gtv crew and all the ETTV broadcasters. Keep up the good work :)

I personally think POTM voting is the cup managers their responsibilities like CB, ESL, WL etc, and not gamesTV, we provide TV for games, not cups itself ...

I know that. I didn't mean that you guys would take care of it. I meant like if it would be possible to add that feature and the requestees and cup managers would update it and so on.

Im afraid, if we'd do that ... that people wouldnt update it anyway and that gtv crew itself would be responsible for fixing it ...

Yeah, that might be true. Thanks anyway :)

shouldnt be too hard actually. a generic poll function will be implemented anyway.
a potm vote would rely on the lineups which are added to a match tho and we have frequent complains about lineups not being 100% correct...

exactly thats the point.
i dont think it's really needed function, though it sounds cool

thats a good idea

I think POTM poll is one of the best ideas I've heard so war. Instead of typing your lamy comment, you can just give your vote to the best player. I think there will be situations where the god-statused players ( OMG, MAUS) will get all the votes despite the fact his/her performance didn't go so well.
POTM system means that every vote is based on personal opinion but as far as I know, it doesn't work in big portals.
Of course there are matches where some players are in top shape and deserve this kind of attention. Also it shows the player skill, performance and abilty to play on ETTV, it is good for low, med skilled clans who are recruiting and so on.

Great idea!

we can simply blame skooli if it doesnt work.

nah - but the function is so easy to do that i'm more interested in how it would look like than actually implementing it

just like at cb imo...the match admins are adding the lineups and right after the score has been reported you can select your POTM (with radio buttons or something) from the lineup.

You personally think, but if you look to the community you see that almost everyone out of the community dislikes the Clanbase site. This means that almost noone is taking the time to go on the site and vote for the player of the match. Thats quite sad since clanbase had alot of whine on their site and aren't changing it to a proper ISP. Instead of changing to a proper ISP they keep adding new options wich are making the site even more slower.
